Title: Improvements in and relating to Boiler Water Gauges.
Inventor: CAMERON DAVID GRAY
Filed: 1906-02-13
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 3527. Cameron, D. G., Crombie, J., and Walker, H. C. Feb. 13. Gauge-glass fittings.-The safetyvalve d<1>, Fig. 2, is normally held open by a Bourdon tube j, which is curved when inside and outside pressures are equal but becomes straight and closes the valve when the ouside pressure only is relaxed, as happens on the breakage of a glass. In this instance, the valve s, Fig. 3, in the lower union is carried upward and closed by the rush of fluid. When it is desired to blow through the apparatus, a valve n<1>, Fig. 3, is opened, and an eccentric on the spindle of the valve actuates a lever connected to a catch t, Fig. 2, which is turned so as to hold open the valve d<1>. The valves are of the ordinary lift type, and are supported by plugs f<1>, r<1> provided with cross-bars &c. for the purpose.

Title: An Improved Method or Process of Producing Pure Hydrogen.
Inventor: FRANK ADOLPH
Filed: 1906-11-26
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 26,808. Frank, A. Nov. 28, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydrogen is produced pure from water gas by passing it over carbide, for example calcium carbide, at a temperature exceeding 300‹ C., so fixing or absorbing the other constituents. Carbon monoxide and dioxide may be absorbed previously, wholly, or partly, in suitable media, such as an acid, neutral, or alkaline solution of cuprous chloride and lime, respectively. The water gas is dried as much as possible before treatment with the carbide. The calcium carbide may be pure or mixed with other carbides, or with inert materials that promote the absorption, or with such as reduce the temperature of absorption, for example carbonates, halogenides, and sulphates. Absorbed carbon monoxide may be separated from the cuprous chloride solution by subjecting it to a vacuum. The solution may then be used again in the process.

Abstract: 19,420. Whysall, P. Aug. 29. Seats.-A seat for motor-cycles &c. is provided with a back-rest which can be moved into a position in which it offers no obstruction to the rider when mounting or dismounting. The spindle e is rotatably mounted in bearings in the seat a and provided with sockets f for receiving the wooden frame g of the back-rest. The back-rest is provided with feet h<1> which rest on spring latches j formed at the end of a bar j<1>.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Printing Machines.

Filed: 1908-05-27
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 11,505. Lock, W. H., and North, C., and Hewitt, H. M., [executors of North, T. M.]. May 27. Rotary machines; inking-apparatus ; stopping and starting arrangements.-In a rotary printing-machine in which the impression-cylinder is moved towards and away from the forme-cylinder once for each impression, the impression-cylinder may be tripped and at the same time the inking-rollers may be moved away from the forme-cylinder. The reciprocating motion of the impression-cylinder 1 is derived from the cam 3 on the forme-cylinder, this cam imparting angular movement to the eccentric bearing 10 through the bell-crank lever 4, link 5, lever-arm 6, rock-shaft 7, lever-arm 8, and link 9. In order that the cylinder 1 may be tripped by the pedal 20, the link 5 is formed with a hooked end 12 which engages a stud 13 on the lever 4, and is also provided with a cam 14, which, when the lever 18 is depressed by the pedal, engages the roller 15, whereby the link 5 is raised out of connexion with the stud 13. One end of the lever is connected by a link 24 to a lever-arm 26, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted loosely on the shaft 27. The arm 26 is formed in one piece with a sector 33 having a single depression 34 in which the lower end of a locking-bolt 35 normally engages. The upper end of the bolt is pivoted to the hand-lever 30, which is rigidly connected to the shaft 27 and is formed in one with the arm 28, connected to cam-plates 29 for raising the inking-rollers in known manner. The bolt 35 thus normally rigidly connects the arm 26 with the cam-plates 29, so that when the pedal 20 is depressed the shaft 27 is rocked and the inking-rollers raised. If, while the machine is tripped, it is desired to ink-up the forme, this can be done by gripping the hand-lever 30 so as to withdraw the bolt 35, and then the inking-rollers may be lowered by moving the lever to the left in Fig. 1. The machine may also be tripped without raising the inking-rollers or vice-versa.
